busy days

Yesterday was a busy and tedious day. I am really really really tired of taking Logan to the potty. I want to see results!!! I am not a patient person....and going to the potty every 30 minutes and not once seeing him pee on the potty is very discouraging. I keep reminding myself that is takes time, but it doesn't really help. I have been consistant but I got my hopes up thinking JR would help me when he got home from work. I was wrong. I thought that he could take Logan every other time so that I could relax for an entire hour before going back to the bathroom...but he was a little side tracked with his fantasy baseball...You know, thats not entirely true...he did help out taking him to the potty, and he cooked dinner...I really shouldn't complain...its just that sometimes I feel so overwhelmed and I feel like I am doing it all. I try not to ever imagine being a single mother, but when I do....it really makes me appreciate all that I have and how lucky I am to have JR, even if I think he could do more sometimes!
I have felt very good the last couple of days...My house has been CLEAN for a week now..of course it could use a good mopping, but who does that every day? I am going to try to get it done tonight. I went grocery shopping on Wednesday and I actually took the time to get better food for us. Yesterday, Logan had a good hearty lunch, complete with meat and fruit...he had a handful of grapes, which I have learned to wait until after his main course has been eaten, otherwise he will only eat grapes. For a snack later on he had some apple sauce. I felt so wonderful knowing that he was eating healthy and so was I ...I traded the grapes for a handful of blackberries. We had a good lunch again today, and I chose apple slices instead of blackberries, which Logan wanted to try and ended up LOVING!
I really think there is something to be said about eating healthy in a clean home...it has totally changed my mood! I even did the dishes and cut up a watermelon today, later I plan to sweep and mop and yesterday Logan and I played in the sun while I FINALLY finished all my Thank you cards from our wedding that was 2 months ago!!! Talk about procrastination!
Anyway, I am actually enjoying staying busy....but I really need a new word for "potty" and I would love to see some results! BTW: Logan slept in HIS bed last night...it started a little rough at first, but it turned out well and that is the important part...hopefully, soon he will be able to go to bed all on his own without any patting of the back or other soothing methods!!!!!
